The former first lady's push to support family caregivers lives on. The Rosalynn Carter Institute provides training for family caregivers and has partnered with AARP Georgia to help support caregivers.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institution.
It’s not always a woman who ends up being a caregiver. That’s what Atlanta playwright and filmmaker Garrett Davis wants men to know, and that it’s OK to ask for help.
In other states, advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) have a specialized license that gives them broader authority for patient care. Not in Georgia. AARP Georgia supports legislation to grant separate licenses to APRNs.
